* Photographer Fred Larkin and his wife, Lucette, will be spending a lot of time on the road in 2007, exploring the country in their recently acquired Airstream trailer.
* The John Atencio Patron Party thanking top-level supporters of the American Heart Association’s 2007 Denver Heart Ball is from 6-8 p.m. today at the St. John Boutique in Cherry Creek North.

Joanne Davidson has been covering them for The Denver Post since 1985, coming here from her native California where she'd spent the previous seven years as San Francisco bureau chief for U.S. News & World Report magazine.
